You're trying to backup Exchange from a remote server using NTBACKUP? If that's so, run Exchange 2000 setup on that server but select the Administration Tools only. That will extend NTBACKUP to do what you want.
Using something other than NTBACKUP? Then buy an Exchange agent for that tool.

We have a single domain now, one Exchange 2000 Server on w2k server with GC and about 20 users. Native mode.. Pretty simple and easy:) Everything works fine so far. Now I wanted to do the first backup of the new server. When I choose the exchange field in ntbackup, backup asks me for the servername. I chose the name of the server and... nothing happens (no difference from which machine I start it. Even locally it doesn't work). The box to choose exchange backup remains grey:( We are running SP 2 on both E2K and W2K. In the MS help is a detailed description of the backup procedure with the note: Warning The version of Backup that is provided with Windows 2000 cannot be used with Exchange. Read the Release Notes before performing a backup or a restore. The Release Notes contain the most up-to-date information about installing updates and fixes for Exchange 2000. Very funny. What release notes? Any hint? thanx elm -- Elmer St�wer CyberConsult - Beratungsgesellschaft f�r Neue Medien mbH Tel: (030) 39 99 05 -42, Fax: (030) 39 99 05 -67 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
